The Globals directory '^' is only available internally to WebCatalog, but the image files must be available from the web server directly. What I have done is created an aliased hostname for all of our cover art (we sell mostly books), called covers.insertdomainnamehere.com. All of the covers.* hostnames are pointed at the same IP address and the web server has a regex match so that it will know to respond to any of those requests by serving up files from a single set of directories (I'm running Apache for that). It works really well, and I have even set up a hashed access method, so that file 123456789X.jpg is stored as 12/345/123456789X.jpg (minimize the number of files in any single directory). If you are interested, I can post the WebDNA code as well as the Perl script to move the files into the correct place.
